A couple of small finishes

I've been doing a lot of hand stitching over the last few weeks, whilst watching the Commonwealth Games, so I've not got a lot to show. But I did finish this little Hallowe'en hanging. We don't really 'do' Hallowe'en, but I thought it was quite cute. It was a free pattern from The Painted Quilt. But then Number Two Son came to visit last weekend and told me that he was having a Hallowe'en party, so it went home with him.

This morning I made myself a pencil case. The pattern came from a special bags issue of the Popular Patchwork magazine, and I love the way that it's turned out.
